Which is the best courier to ship a bike in the UK? I have seen Parcelforce 48 being used by some. Anyone else I should keep in mind?

    Paisley freight were £18 for a full suspension bike.

    Insurance will be extra.

    Interparcel are a disaster - accepted and took money for two deliveries from me then told me they couldn't do them when it was too late to get anyone else.

    Ive never had a problem with them, i usually choose to have CityLink deliver, and apart from the miserable drivers, they've been on-time and very helpful every time. Even got an unpackaged motorbike engine delivered to me and they made no complaints.
